Makilingia colorata Baker, 1914: 413 , Fig. 4

Male genitalia. Pygofer appendage slender, curved dorsad through most of length, apex extended slightly beyond pygofer lobe. Subgenital plate with sclerotized basal section short and triangular, distal unsclerotized section short and tapered, extended dorsad at right angle to basal section, dorsal callosity digitiform. Style without preapical lobe, apex widened in heel area, heel obtusely angulate. Aedeagus with preatrium as long as shaft, in lateral view posterior margin forming continuous curve with shaft; shaft short and tapered, with pair of short, preapical anterior projections; in posterior view with preatrium broadened from base to apex, atrium with pair of short lateral lobes, shaft slightly broadened distally, apex rounded and with slight median emargination.

Female. Sternite VII less than twice as wide as long, posterior margin broadly convex with narrow quadrate median emargination. Second valvulae with dorsal margin irregular, teeth very large, obliquely conical and irregularly spaced.

Material examined. Lectotype male (here designated), labeled " Mt. Makiling /Luzon, Baker; Cotype No./ U.S. N.M.; LECTOTYPE / Makilingia / colorata / Baker/ C.H. Dietrich & J.N. Zahniser; USNMENT / 01513277". 6 male and 9 female paralectotypes, first two labels same as lectotype; each labeled “ PARALECTOTYPE / Makilingia colorata Baker / des. CH Dietrich / & JN Zahniser 2019”; each with a USNMENT barcode label numbered 0 1513278 thru 0 1513292 ( USNM).

Notes. A male cotype from Baker's type series is here designated as lectotype to fix the identity of the species.
